Production

After the critical and commercial success of the 2013 Malayalam film Drishyam directed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Mohanlal, several regional producers approached the makers for remake rights. A Tamil version was planned to be jointly produced by Suresh Balaje, George Pius of Wide Angle Creations, Rajkumar Sethupathi and Sripriya Rajkumar of Raj Kumar Theatre.

Jeethu said that Rajinikanth was initially approached to do the lead role and although he was interested, he had doubts regarding a few scenes and how they would appeal to his fans. Jeethu and Haasan then chose to alter the storyline to make it familiar with Tamil audiences. Jeethu further said that the Tamil version had been made "more emotional" since Kamal Haasan felt that Tamil audiences like to be "emotionally piqued".

Haasan's partner Gautami was confirmed to play Meena's role from the original in June 2014, marking her comeback to acting after a sixteen-year sabbatical. Asha Sarath was chosen to reprise her role as a police officer from the original version.

Jeethu Joseph confirmed that principal photography would commence in the second half of 2014. It eventually commenced on 25 August 2014, with first schedule beginning in Tirunelveli where scenes featuring Haasan and Gautami were initially shot. Shooting took place in Nanguneri and Tenkasi, Kuthukalvalasai, Mekkarai, a town in the Tirunelveli district. Shooting also took place in Thodupuzha in the house originally used in the Malayalam version.
